Arise: A Simple Story is one of the year's best games

[shaneo632]

Didn't see a review thread so just making a post here. I thought the game looked cute so decided to play it for review. I didn't expect it to be a late-entry into my top 10 games of 2019. It's only about 4-5 hours long critical path (though much longer if you stop to smell the roses), but it's just a gorgeous and emotional experience. Also boasts one of the best musical scores I've heard in years.

If it wasn't for some of the janky controls it'd be close to all-time classic for me. Ended up giving it an 8.5 and a strong recommendation if you're in the mood for a charming, visually stunning indie platformer with a neat time-manipulating hook.
